Summary
The perfect wife.
The perfect mother.
The perfect lie.
A gripping page-turner for fans of The Couple Next Door, Michelle Sacks’s You Were Made For This provocatively explores the darker side of marriage, motherhood and friendship.
Doting wife, devoted husband, cherished child. Merry, Sam and Conor are the perfect family in the perfect place. Merry adores baking, gardening, and caring for her infant son, while Sam pursues a new career in film. In their idyllic house in the Swedish woods, they can hardly believe how lucky they are. What perfect new lives they've built for themselves, away from New York and the events that overshadowed their happiness there.
And then Merry's closest friend Frank comes to stay. All their lives, the two women have been more like sisters than best friends. And that’s why Frank sees things that others might miss. Treacherous things that unfold behind closed doors.
But soon it's clear that everyone inside the house has something to hide. And as the truth begins to show through the cracks, Merry, Frank, and Sam grow all the more desperate to keep their picture-perfect lives intact.
Critic reviews
"The savage beauty of Michelle Sacks’s prose nestled within the most chilling of stories will leave you shaken and bereft. It is a stunning accomplishment." (Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times best-selling author of The Weight of Silence)
"A taut novel of deception, full of heart-wrenching twists and turns...richly compelling." (Jennifer McMahon, New York Times best-selling author of The Winter People)
"Michelle Sacks has a gift for empathy, and her broken sinners are so tenderly drawn that even at their worst they remain heartbreakingly human. She’s also written the most complex and relatable female friendship I’ve read in years. You Were Made for This plumbs the darkness that can lie at the core of the most intimate of relationships: between husband and wife, lifelong friends, even mother and child." (Heather Young, author of The Lost Girls)

Darkly compelling
Michelle Sacks really gets to the centre of these dysfunctional central characters. Not sure who I like least. Excellent performances!
